Got a shifty head atake.


Hmmmm....not sure...thought maybe headache, head pain of some sort.....

Nope. No pain. Just felt dizzy. Said he felt he was "having attacks where is head felt shifting all around"

another classic was a man in his 70's said he was at work and developed diarrhea. so not wanting to leave work decided to stick a lightbulb (big end first) into his bum so that he could finish his shift. after the xray he decided to sign out AMA. we all thought he'd be back within hours "but" he never did.

Is that the light at the end of the tunnel?:hatparty:

This has nothing to do with the topic, but don't you love it when people try to correct you on how to pronounce meds, body parts, etc? We have a frequent flyer that is always coming in wanting pillicinnin for her sore troat and if we dare say penicillin or sore throat she gets all bent out of shape and corrects us...LOL.

I used to work in a jail and imates would come up with some amazing stuff. Lots of guys with poor education and even more with poor English skills. My favorite of all time was the boy with a "sore trout". Still makes me laugh out loud!

I work on a Cardiac floor.. I asked my patient what activity he was doing when he experienced chest pain.. He replied ummm it was either cocaine or crack.

[no er holds]

In my ER it isn't so much the patients we have to watch out for...it's the medics! If there's a particular nurse in triage they want to play with, they'll sign in a name like "Rea, Gonoh" and she is that gullible to say the name out loud IN THE CORRECT ORDER! Or they'll sign in the name of their favorite cartoon character.

We don't have sign in, either, but some of our favorites are:
I need a technical shot, stepped onna nail: My gouch is actin up: I keep feelin like I'm gonna fall out cuzz I got high blood; and I had a seizure this morning (or yesterday) and I want to be checked out...when asked if they are taking their antiseizure meds, they ALWAYS say "not this lately, I ran out a good while ago" . Well..duh....what's a good while ago? week? month? I want to tell them if they can't be responsible for their health, then they can't expect me to fix them when they mess up.
Also had someone call in and ask if "do that technical shot help if you get exposed to amtrax?" LOL....uh huh..if you are exposed to amtrax, the technical shot will save you!!
